Wood

If our love was this old Shotgun shack
off the less traveled road
still standin' straight, temptin' fate
and fightin' off the cold

With tin patches on the shiplap
made from old coffee cans
and 29 dollars in pennies in a jar on the night stand

Well the wood that builds fences builds those bridges too
but I’d rather build a ladder to get back up to you
sometimes you fall so low, like a cold wind blowin' smoke
from a bridge on fire, railroad ties, oil and creosote


Well the gale force wind that’s in your face
is the same one howling at your back
The side wind chooses which way you go
But the weather vane stays where it’s at

Had me a lover one young July
In Calhoun county, we said goodbye
Nothin smells sadder than the end of summer
The hay fields catchin' fire

Well the wood that builds fences builds those bridges too
but I’d rather build a ladder to get back up to you
sometimes you fall so low, like a cold wind blowin' smoke
from a bridge on fire, railroad ties, oil and creosote

lately I am loathe to say that all we need is love
Love is just a tin cup hangin' by a dry pump while the tears fall from the sky
Guess I’d rather be a carpenter than the man out killin' trees

Well I said a lot of things that I'd like to forget
I did a lot of shit I will always regret
I would never change a life rearranged since the day we met

My god ain’t that sunset beautiful
where the water meets the river bank crown
Sounds like a symphony of chainsaws coming
and bridges falling down

Well the wood that builds fences builds those bridges too
but I’d rather build a ladder to get back up to you
sometimes you fall so low, like a cold wind blowin' smoke
from a bridge on fire, railroad ties, oil and creosote
